Being a good mom matters more to me than anything else I’ll ever do. It’s a title that I don’t take lightly and will never take for granted. My sweet baby boy is my whole world and that will never change 🤍✨ Happy Mother’s Day, mamas- especially to my first time moms. It’s the honor of my life to be in this club with you. #firstimemom #mothersday #motherhood #boymom #momtok

I don't remember what the weather was like or what I was wearing or whether I'd eat in that day, but I remember how heavy the car seat felt when I carried you through the front door and realized this wasn't practice anymore, this was it, there was no music playing, no movie scene moment, just me standing in the middle of the living room with a baby that looked like me, and if you're I never felt before, you were so small, and I was supposed to know what to do, but I didn't, I had read the books, washed the bottles, folded the onesies, but no one tells you how loud the silence is after your whole world shifts, I sat in the back seat next to you on the way home watching your chest rise and fall, like it was the only thing anchoring me to the earth, that day I became a mother, not in the hospital, but in the stillness after when everything felt both too much and not enough, you'll never remember how I whispered, please let me be good at this, into the quiet of that first night, but I will, because that was the day I met a version of myself who was terrified and tender, and ready to fight the whole world of it and keeping you safe, and even now, after all the growing and guessing, the one thing I know for sure is this, loving you changed everything, and that change was the beginning of me.
